Our check in was easy and fast. The valet and front desk were polite and extremely helpful (when checking out as well). The location is fantastic. Stadium is a 5 minute walk and everything else is within a 15 min walking distance as well. 10/10 recommend!

Lacrosse ID Camp trip
Great stay at a very nice hotel. It was really quiet and the service was excellent. I really enjoyed the fact that a lot of the local students work at the hotel and can provide some insider information regarding where to go and what to see.
